change the thermostat, pretty easy to do, just take off the intake pipe and there's the outside of the thermostat housing. Mine locked up on me two nights ago so i had to pull over in the median in the middle of the highway, lucky for me two of my buddies were following me and they pulled over, one had a tool kit and we just took the thermostat right out. Here is a pic that might help i took from saturday.



after you just pop the housing off (if it has the liquid gasket on the thermostat, it will be a PIA to take off and you'll really have to give some effort to pull it off) , then the thermostat just twists right out and you can just twist a new one in. When putting a new one in, go to NAPA and either get silicon gasket or cut your own gasket material to reseal the new thermostat back in
